Mobb Deep - Peer Pressure Lyrics
[Chorus: repeat 4X]
The pressure...
(you gotta find a way to deal with) dealin with the peer pressure
As a young black teen, everyday I, deal
with the pressure and mixed up is how I feel
I walk the streets with a fuck you attitude
And when it comes to my peoples you ain't half as rude
Follow the crowd or be a leader, take your pick
Now I'm smokin buddha philly blunt style
A frustrated and confused young juvenile
King of the project blues so I choose
To take a piece of the action
So twenty-four-seven it's the number one stresser
Dealin with the peer pressure
[Chorus]
[Verse Two: Prodigy]
Most don't understand how it is
in the world of today growin up as a young black teen
I used to dream, of bein a architect
Easier said than done, believe me it's hard to get
out of the projects, without forgettin where you came from
My parents told me from day one
Finish school and avoid all obstacles
But my environment, makes it so impossible
For instance, build a strong social life
Without messing up still trying to live right
Like in junior high, I used to wonder why
Certain females went out with certain guys
Then one day, it all dawned on me yo
You gotta be down, and have it goin on see
I wasn't down with the mainstream or
should I say their team, now I'm gettin steamed
Gotta find a way, to get accepted by my peers
So now I'm sippin on beers
Buyin new gear, nuthin but the best
Forget Levi's strictly Polo and Guess
But how would I make the cash
It gotta be easy and it gotta be fast
Thinkin to myself does that make me lesser
Just, dealin with the peer pressure
[Chorus 2X]
[Verse Three: Havoc]
Around my way there's a kid that most don't understand
how he lives is it negative or positive
He has a grade A average
But when he's on the streets, with his friends, he's a savage
A freshman of high school, daily attendant
He never got in trouble never did he get suspended
Good little Kenny who would believe
He dropped out of school to start to smoke weed
I saw the signs but I didn't pay attention
Because he got offended everytime that I would mention
The drinkin, the smokin, the low school grades
And sleepin in class laid back with his black shades
Nowadays you catch Kenny hangin in the hallways
With his crew findin more ways
To break out of school, and hit the block and get buckwild
Stay out of the way of a mad child
Cause he's a product of, hell
Kenny never fell but he's gonna fall overall
So let's take a trip to the ghetto
Where Kenny got drunk and bought a burner off his man so
He pulled the trigger and the suicide note right
"I'm glad it's finally over and I'm finally dead
And no more, do I have to feel, lesser, or
deal with the peer pressure"
[Chorus 2X]

LOL who remembered this in *YO! MTV RAPS* in late September '92?!!! I still do till dis day CLASSIC SHIT!
Classic
Oh they were so young.... 😍
Still one of the best -2019
R.I.P. Prodigy
DJ Premier really defined the sound of the NY golden era.
Niggas was straight bald at 19 😂 the 90's were a very different time
Lil lord wit the black brim
That must be hella awkward for them when they grown up.
The irony of Killa Black/Kenny committing suicide n this video and then his actual demise is spine chilling
Yeah it is. It makes me not believe in coincidences.
were the bandanas
dem lyrics were so fire, they don't rap like this anymore because artist can't spit anything today.
Prodigy looked 11 here 😂
Hav too. No more than 12 altho its said they were 16-17
Mobb ish Rip P
... Yo .. Time out ... It look like the filmed this in the LES
Bruh ... I wish I could smack em in the back of their heads .. Just like Onyx.. 😂😂😂 .. These niggas would kill me
This when I became a fan of Mobb Deep...
Rest easy prodigy ✨ they booth so YUNG in this video and still look the same ☺️
I always heard about this song but never heard it or watched the video till today damn they were so young r.i.p prodigy June 2019
Boom bap is Alive 🙏🏾💪🏾
You can tell Naughty by Nature had a big influence on their style back then.
4:04 That must be Littles, dude🤔
Snake Deauvaux well duh
The guy who played kenny is killa black who actually committed suicide in 96 in his moms bathroom
@ 00:05 came in how he left, a srt8 G. That pose with sickle is bitter sweet. Rest up big homie. 🙏🏾
So goddamn weird seeing them so young. Especially when you're the same age as them in this video aswell!
Da youngsters illegal that flow
Lmao just walking around with sickle's, best music video ever.
took me 2 decades to find out Kenny is Havocs brother.
My man Havok look like Floyd Mayweather. Mannerisms and all.
Still can't believe Prodigy gone. Rest peacefully dun!
Un clasico
Havoc really been bald his whole life
They really grew from here to the Infamous. I mean they are good here, but the leap is exponential. They must have locked in the studio. I mean they got a premo beat here, but Havoc took over production and P became a nightmare on the mic on the very next album. It's like some high school kids went to the league and dominated.
They really matured on The Infamous
harde poekoe! Ik ga die jonko klappen op straat!
Yo havoc look sneaky as fuck and prodigy just look mean
This song is true even today...I hate peer pressure
Koniec ciebie w siebie uzbrajam cała swoją moc...słyszysz jak się zblizam????kara....najpiękniejsza jaki szczyt i upust cię szajba męczyć kundlu
Tym się marketingujesz????
Kto lepiej niszczy spokój kurwa z ciekawością? ????
Muzyka First wypierdalac wkręt zaufalem ufałem dlatego mnie rzna z rana chujem po mordzie..inny adres dłuższe chuje
No to ładnie nam się pan przedstawił

Now this is new generation wchodzę w ciebie jak do siebie rozpierdalam się najszerzej żeby zrzucić spust kopyta

R.i.p. brother.❤
Only winter of 93 had this sound
rip prodigy
addicted to this track
This song is classic
Shout out to havoc "Black don't Crack" Prodigy eternal ...
Can't lie, Prodigy reminded me of Will Smith in this one
N3YL0Nno.9 kinda look like him
Prodigy, in his audio biography, mentioned how it was spooky that Killer B played a character that committed suicide an ended up reality.... hmmm R.I.P
Havoc looks like Floyd Mayweather
they're look really young here
Where was this filmed? Looks more like The Bronx or Harlem... I don't think it was Queens.
Manhattan, read his autobiography
Rip Prodigy 1974-2017. Talented kid.
in 2018 I’m still hearing this💕🙌🏾
Why does Prodigy have the siphe from fornite
Prodigy looks like jaden smith lol
These brothers are/very introspective and aware of themselves and surroundings. They rapped about what their peers and themselves went through and weren't just unconscious subjects of it. It says a lot that them and most of their crew survived the streets especially in their era of being youth in NYC
CLASSIC
alot of this happends in the suburbs too disfunction doesnt discriminate. we all know plenty of kennys
RIP Prodigy 1974/2017
Legends
Classic
why in this video p was looking like a grim reaper
This Is Real Old School From Mob Deep
Damn what a trip it's like watching Mobb Deep midgets you know what I mean??!!

My favourite rapper all from nyc biggie big l mobb deep dmx 50 cent
Havoc looks like Floyd lol

The pressure...
(you gotta find a way to deal with) dealin with the peer pressure
[Verse 1: Havoc]

Follow the crowd or be a leader, take your pick
Now I'm smokin buddha philly blunt style
A frustrated and confused young juvenile
King of the project blues so I choose
To take a piece of the action
But my sober state of mind won't let it happen
So twenty-four-seven it's the number one stresser
Dealin with the peer pressure

These 2 unknowingly go on to become 2 of the most lyrical dopest. Dudes in east coast hiphop known and worshipped and followed by nearly a billion people. To be millions of peoples favourite group. Mobb deep really did it big!! They produced countless albums and mixtapes which still to this day after 20 years give people chills down they spine. And left a mark on all fans. And played crazy amounts of homage to Queensbridge. They will always be my favorite group. Rip big prodigy gbnf
this song and album i know it was theyre first album but it was wack
